Is It Ok To feel Frustration and Let Down?

[canny]

My brother is just plain LAZY pure and simple and was spoiled from Mom in the past.
She let him get used to be waited on hand and foot, instead of helping to learn to survive on his own.

You have just said it yourself,,, your brother is not equipped,, do not be too hard on him

I've stopped kicking myself these days for feeling what are perfectly human emotions. ( I'd fall down anyway )

I used to get so angry with myself for feeling down. The very black days are getting less and less but if I do have one I'm in what I call the " walking through treacle " room. You know, getting nowhere, no one loves me, no one cares about me and the line " who would miss me " goes round and round in my head.
Thankfully, those days are very few and far between now but on those days I give myself a jolly good talking to and I'm not to hard on myself anymore.
If you could be a fly on the wall and watch me it's a hoot
God is there but it's like he can't get a word in edgeways

" Now come on girl, after everything you've been through ( looking at a chair at this point like " he's " sat there ), you listening to me, eh ? EH ?,,,
Yes Jayney, now about this no one loves me bit,,,,,,
ARRRRRRRRRRRH but you just listen to me now,,,, ( looking at that chair again and watching him mutter,,, she's off on one again. Me thinks this is going to be a very one sided conversation )
Look, you MADE me like this didn't ya ? eh ?
Well um, Jayney, thats not actually,,,,,
LOOK,,,,if this is about that time I laughed hysterically after I'd cut Canny's hair and left her looking like a cockrel with that 2 inch tuft of hair on the top of her head,,,,,
Nooooooooooo Jayney,, it's not ab,,,,,,,
well what about that time I tricked my dear ole Mum into thinking I was from the telephone company and I had her running back and fore to the pole outside her house checking that cuckoos hadn't nibbled the line inbetween getting her to repeat " I cannot hold a hot potato in my hand ",,,,
noooooo Jayney,,, it's not ab,,,,,,,
So what about the time that that wardrobe fell on canny and I couldn't do anything to help because I was weak with laughter,,, mind you, you have to admit THAT was funny
No Jayney, it's not ab,,,,
But by that time I've got Canny's legs and arms waving about like shes going to a fancy dress party dressed as a wardrobe shouting, JAYNOOOO I GOT A WARDROBE ON MEEEEEEEEEEE in my head and I'm weak with

Ok, not your most conventional way of praying

I've come to believe these days that pain nourishes courage and if we only ever have good things happen to us how are we ever going to deal with bad things when they come along.
My rally cry every morning now is,,, SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY

Nothing like a bit of positive thinking to make that lil ole critter satan go
He hates positive thinking

Ooohh that's not fair that isn't. Just when I'm having a frustrated day, first you go and make me think of canny looking like a cockerel, and then you make me think of her as a wardrobe. How am I meant to have a good when you've got me

Dearest, if you didn't have feelings, you wouldn't be growing, you'd be stagnating.

The Scripture that gets me through most of the time are those passages where Jesus says that we must trust in God as a little child. The word can mean both an infant or a young child, but in either case, it means I must depend upon Him completely, in all things, without doubting Him, for He only has good for me, even when the witness of my flesh, and the world, try to contradict the eternal reality that God tells me is more real than this temporary part of it that is soon to be dissolved.

I can't wait - I hate sin, hate it when I give in to it, hate seeing it in the world around me - but that's evidence of Jesus living in me - He hates all evil too.

These are the verses that get me through, because I take them, and the rest of God's word, literally - not in taking my eye out because I see evil, but in looking towards other things that are good, pure, of good reputation, wonderful - in a nutshell, God.

He's perfect, and I'm very much not - it's so good to know He is in charge, even when I do my worst to prove He's not.

Matthew 18:1-5

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

Mark 10:13-16

13 Then they brought young children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." 16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.

Daddy, Father...thank You for Your love beyond my understanding.

Love you in Christ, Sweetrainbow...just remember, trust Daddy...He knows best.
